Edward Webb (born January 20, 1975), known by his stage name Rake Yohn (/jɒn/), is an American television personality and former member of the CKY crew. He was a regular in the CKY videos and MTV's reality comedy series Viva La Bam and also had occasional appearances in Jackass.

Life and career

Yohn was born in 1975 in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, to Australian parents. He attended Penn State University and works as a chemist specializing in synthetic materials. He is the older brother of Art Webb, an occasional CKY crew member. Yohn is known for his long hair, love for metal music, and strong dislike of mustard. His stage name was given to him by longtime friend Bam Margera.

Yohn's face is on the cover of CKY2K as well as the cover of the 1999 reissue of CKY's Volume 2 album. The image was also used on a limited edition Tech Deck released exclusively for the game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. On the CKY DVD Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild: The Video Album, Yohn complained that "his face was on DVDs, shirts and Tech Decks, and he hasn't seen a dime for any of them."

In 2009, Yohn, his brother Art Webb, and Brandon DiCamillo provided voice-overs for the Xbox Live Arcade game Trials HD.

The history of the CKY crew according to Yohn:

For instance, the guy that I probably knew the best was Brandon DiCamillo because his sister was my age, and he was friends with my younger brother, Art. So, eventually, from Brandon and Art hanging out, I started hanging out with Brandon. One day, I think it was a Saturday morning, he was like, 'You feel like coming out and filming?' And up at Penn State, I had helped a couple people with some of their college movie stuff, so it was like, 'What the hell? Something to watch later on'. That ended up being the 'Army' skit from Landspeed. You know, it ended up pretty crazy. Then, another day, he wanted to film the 'Legend of Football' bit, you know?

In 2012, Yohn featured as a voice-over in the video game Trials Evolution.

Personal life

In March 2009, Yohn married radio personality Melissa Carr. The couple has two sons. His wife died on July 31, 2023 after a long-term illness.
